Denton Blane Everett as Cole Gray

Denton Blane Everett as Cole Gray

Cole is returning to the town where he grew up. It’s not exactly the town he remembers. Demons await him, both from within and without. What part Cole plays in the strange goings on of Twinbrooke Court remains to be seen…but it seems that several people are very interested in him for reasons unknown.

Denton also stars in Desdemona: A Love Story, which is winning awards from many film festivals, and Rockabilly Baby in which he wrote and sang all music.



Glenn Morshower as Mr. Anderson

Glenn Morshower as Mr. Anderson

Mr. Anderson’s main priority, like most men in this little town, is his family. He cares deeply for his wife, who is ill, and his son Philip, who is part of a grassroots watchdog group and doing a lot of the right things – but maybe for the wrong reasons. Mr. Anderson just wants to see them happy. He should probably be careful what he wishes for.

Glenn is one of the busiest actors in Hollywood, best known for his long-running role as Secret Service agent Aaron Pierce on the megahit show 24. Glenn was most recently seen in both Transformers 2 & Men Who Stare at Goats, in which he has major roles.



Kathy Lamkin as Mrs. Anderson

Kathy Lamkin as Mrs. Anderson

Mrs. Anderson loves her husband and her son. She’s also very sick. Something has affected her along with a handful of others in the small community of Twinbrooke Court. No one seems to know what it is, or what caused it to happen. She seems to be getting better. But appearances can be deceiving.

Kathy became an instant cult favorite with her chilling turn as the Tea Lady in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake and prequel. She recently starred in Staunton Hill and had standout roles in The Heartbreak Kid, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and the Best Picture Oscar winning No Country for Old Men.



Debbie Rochon as Marie Gray

Debbie Rochon as Marie Gray

Like many underprivileged young women that are blessed/cursed with beauty, Marie Gray made a few bad choices and had a child well before she was ready for such responsibility. That child is Cole Gray. To say that her maternal skills left something to be desired is a bit of an understatement. There is probably more hate than love between the two Grays. Will the estranged mother and son patch things up and move on? Or does Marie have her own agenda?

Debbie is a horror staple "Scream Queen", her work with Fangoria and their Weekend of Horrors has brought national attention as well as her show on Sirius Radio with Twisted Sister's Dee Snider. She's been involved in over 100 horror movies in the last 25 years from Night of the Living Dead & American Nightmare as well as the upcoming Horrorween.



Katie Featherston as Elspeth Thompson

Katie Featherston as Elspeth Thompson

Elspeth is Cole’s girlfriend. Sort of. It’s complicated (see below). Cole leaves Elspeth behind to move back to his hometown for a research job at “The Facility”. Elspeth seems to want different things from the relationship than Cole does, but she loves him no matter what. Unfortunately, it’s hard for Cole to see this. Elspeth may not wait for him forever.

Katie stars in the runaway phenomenon called Paranormal Activity, the most profitable movie in history.



Shannon Lark as Jennifer Crusel

Shannon Lark as Jennifer Crusel

Jennifer is Cole’s girlfriend. Sort of. It’s complicated (see above). Jennifer also seems to want different things from Cole regarding their relationship. In this case however, the roles are a bit reversed. Cole insists on carrying a torch for Jennifer, no matter how indifferently she treats him. It could be argued that Cole is not just moving back home for the job. Jennifer seems happy to see Cole, but her motivations are questionable. She is a member of the same activist group as Philip, after all.

Shannon is a young and rising "Scream Queen". She leads the dance troupe Living Dead Girlz and has become the first Fangoria "Spooksmodel". Her production company The Chainsaw Mafia is making waves of it's own.



With
Reggie Bannister as Joseph Webber

Reggie Bannister as Joseph Webber

Joseph Webber did some bad things. Very bad things. He went to jail for them, did his time, and now he’s out. Everyone in the town wants him put back in – or put down for good. Joseph also seems to be one of the sick ones who are afflicted with a strange illness. Perhaps nature (or something else) will take care of the “Webber issue” and the town can rest easily. Or…it might make him more of a threat.

Reggie is a decades long legend in horror. Staring in the Phantasm series as well as the cult classic Bubba Ho-tep (with fellow cult actor Bruce Campbell), Wishmaster, and The Rage.



And
Adrienne King as Louise Strack

Adrienne King as Louise Strack

Louise Strack is a mystery. She’s done some very high-level work for the FBI and CIA. All of these files are listed as “Classified” at the highest clearance. Beyond seeing her going to and from work, no one knows what she really did there. Those who do know aren’t talking. And now, Strack is a free agent, establishing the mysterious Facility at the heart of Twinbrooke Court. Is she driven to cure the mysterious illness of the townsfolk? Or does something else guide her hand? As her heir apparent, Cole Gray will soon find out.

Adrienne was the heroine of the original Friday the 13th movie, one of the top three horror movies ever made. She retired from film soon after making Friday the 13th Pt. 2 starring only in voice over rolls. She came out of retirement to be a part of Walking Distance.




Melanie Donihoo as Lisa Stanton

Melanie Donihoo as Lisa Stanton

Lisa Stanton has lived in this town her entire life. Joining the police force right out of college, all Lisa ever wanted to do was be good at her job, and maybe get promoted or relocated to the force in the city as a result. For reasons unknown, that hasn’t happened yet. While others around her have moved on to other regions or law-enforcement entities, Lisa has remained in Twinbrooke Court, holding down a job that is essentially an afterthought due to The Facility’s own security force. Lisa also shares a lot of history with Cole and Mark. Not all of it pleasant.



Omar Adam as Mark Kincaid

Omar Adam as Mark Kincaid

Unlike Lisa, Mark started out on the local force, but then a big collar brought him prestige, a promotion, and a transfer to the city. However, Mark finds himself returning to Twinbrooke Court to search for his long lost love, Cadence Hamilton, who went missing from her hospital bed in the dead of night. Mark may have some information on her whereabouts, although even if he does find her, it may already be too late. Is it merely coincidence that his best friend, Cole Gray, is returning to the town at the same time?



Danielle Jones as Cadence Hamilton

Danielle Jones as Cadence Hamilton

Cadence loved Mark. Mark loved Cadence. Their relationship was doomed from the start. Cadence’s father didn’t like Mark, and on top of that, Cadence seemed to be getting sick, like many other people in the town. After an extremely acute episode, Cadence is remanded to special care at the hospital. It is there that she goes missing one night. Cadence’s disappearance is a mystery to all. But it wasn’t the last. Several more people mysteriously vanished in the subsequent weeks. The search is ongoing.



James LaMarr as Philip Anderson

James LaMarr as Philip Anderson

Philip, though he is a man in his 20’s, is still very much a child in many ways. He still lives with his parents, he’s still a bit naïve and impressionable, but ultimately, Philip is good at heart. He’d like to think he’s doing the right thing by throwing his lot in with the activist cell. And he might be…but Philip’s parents think that his attraction to another activist has more to do with it.



Natali Jones as Julie Dylan

Natali Jones as Julie Dylan

Julie Dylan is a reporter for the local news outlet. In the past several months, she’d found herself reporting on some really, really, weird things. Things like pulsating holes in the ground and accounts of people that appear to be melting. If her brother Jesse wasn’t right next to her capturing the footage on camera, Julie wouldn’t believe her eyes. Or at least that’s what you would think. Julie may know more than she’s letting on. The press does have a lot of power in these situations.



Peyton Wetzel as Jesse Dylan

Peyton Wetzel as Jesse Dylan

Jesse and Julie Dylan have always been close. As fraternal twins, it’s pretty much expected. They even work together. Jesse serves as Julie’s cameraman for all of her field reports. He doesn’t try to get too attached to the work – just push record and make sure it’s in focus. Very soon, Jesse may get a lot more attached than he realizes.



Cesar Castillo as John Rodriguez

Cesar Castillo as John Rodriguez

John works as a “freelance consultant” sent to oversee the goings-on in the neighborhood. He seems to take an interest in the smallest details, which makes people wonder what his true agenda really is. All that is known beyond John’s ambiguous job title is that he lives with Jason Freese.





Todd Farr as Jason Freese

Todd Farr as Jason Freese

Jason, or “Freese”, as everyone seems to call him, works for the Research and Development division of The Facility. Soft spoken, Freese doesn’t really talk about what he (or anyone, for that matter) does there. It definitely seems as if Freese has something to hide, but no one knows what that “something” is. Perhaps it is some knowledge about the prior tragic history of the town, and how it relates to the Facility, the sickness, and the people of Twinbrooke Court.



Eryn Brooke as Tracie Johnson

Eryn Brooke as Tracie Johnson

Tracie is one of those people that toes the line of extremism in the battle to make the world a better place.  She's been in some pretty rough situations, and has never backed down from a fight, a bulldozer, or an advancing line of cops in riot gear.  Tracie's convictions are so strong that they've trumped her better judgement on more than a few occasions.  This may very well be the last time that happens to her.



Morgan McCarthy as Katherine Jordan

Morgan McCarthy as Katherine Jordan

Katherine wants to do the right thing.  She's been that way her entire life.  Over the last few years, however, she seems more concerned with making a name for herself along the way than with making headway in the "good fight".  She's also become less concerned with who she might run over on the way.  Katherine views the strange occurrences in Twinbrooke Court as her ticket to the top of the "celebrity activist" heap.  The question is: is she willing to die for what she thinks she believes in?
